Definitions

  • This invention relates generally windscreen wiper devices and more particularly to connecting devices for attaching windscreen wiper devices to oscillating wiper arms.
  • Passenger vehicles are provided with any one of a range of different styles of oscillating wiper arms including, for example, various sizes of pin-style wiper arms, bayonet-style wiper arms, and top lock-style wiper arms.
  • These oscillating arms are of such different shapes and configurations that they must be secured with windscreen wiper devices in very different manners. This leads to increased manufacturing costs since the windscreen wiper device must design and test differently configured connecting devices for attachment with the various shapes and sizes of oscillating arms.
  • windscreen wiper devices include connecting devices with a single base and multiple joint parts which are each configured for attachment with different sizes and styles of oscillating arms.
  • the joint part attached to the base must be chosen depending upon which type of oscillating arm the windscreen wiper device is to be attached.
  • US patent publication no. US2014/259504 discloses a windscreen wiper device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the windscreen wiper device includes a longitudinally extending wiper blade of a flexible material for sealing against a windshield.
  • the carrier element operably supports the wiper blade and operably biases the wiper blade into a pre-curved shape.
  • a two-piece connecting device is provided for attachment with a wiper arm.
  • the connecting device includes a base which is secured with at least one of the carrier element and the wiper blade.
  • the connecting device further includes a joint part which is pivotally attached with the base and is made as a single integral piece.
  • the joint part has a main body portion which extends between opposite longitudinal ends and a front nose portion which is connected with one longitudinal end of the main body portion via a living hinge for allowing the front nose portion to pivot relative to the main body portion.
  • the joint part further includes a pair of rear locking lugs which extend from the longitudinal end of the main body portion opposite of the front nose portion.
  • the main body portion of the joint part has a top surface with a resilient tab formed therein.
  • the resilient tab has a button with a stepped surface that faces longitudinally towards the front nose portion and presents three vertically and longitudinally spaced tiers for lockingly connecting the joint part with differently sized oscillating arms.
  • the windscreen wiper device is advantageous for both original equipment and aftermarket applications.
  • the windscreen wiper device allows for manufacturing cost savings by allowing the windscreen wiper device manufacturer to utilize a single connecting device with a range of different styles and sizes of oscillating arms.
  • manufacturing cost savings also apply in the aftermarket, but in the aftermarket, packaging cost savings are also realized because the windscreen wiper blade manufacturer can sell the same product in the same package for a range of vehicles with different styles and sizes of oscillating wiper arms.
  • FIG. 1 an exemplary embodiment of a windscreen wiper device 20 with a connecting device 22 that is configured for attachment with a range of different sizes and styles of oscillating wiper arms is generally shown in Figure 1 .
  • the connecting device 22 is adapted for attachment with the following styles and sizes of oscillating wiper arms: 19 mm bayonet-style, 22 mm bayonet-style, 19 mm pin-style, 22 mm pin-style, top lock-style and top lock with window-style.
  • the connecting device 22 is configured for attachment with any of these different sizes and styles of wiper arms without any add-on or interchangeable parts, which allows for manufacturing cost savings for original equipment applications through economies of scale.
  • the exemplary windscreen wiper device 20 is a beam-style wiper device in that it includes a longitudinally extending carrier element 24 which biases a wiper blade 26 (sometimes also known as a wiper strip or a wiper element) of a flexible material (for example, rubber) into a pre-curved shape maintaining a fluid-tight seal along the longitudinal length of the wiper blade against a curved windshield as the windscreen wiper device 20 oscillates back and forth on the curved windshield.
  • a wiper blade 26 sometimes also known as a wiper strip or a wiper element
  • a flexible material for example, rubber
  • the windscreen wiper device 20 also has a pair of subspoilers 28 which are disposed on opposite longitudinal sides of the connecting device 22 and which extend between the connecting device 22 and respective end caps 30 for applying a downforce on the wiper blade to improve the seal between the wiper blade 26 and the windshield when the vehicle is travelling at speed.
  • the connecting device 22 is composed of two pieces including a base 32 piece and a joint part 34 piece.
  • the base 32 and the joint part 34 are each preferably made of single pieces of injection molded plastic. Subsequently, the base 32 and joint part 34 are pivotally joined together to allow the joint part 34 to pivot relative to the base 32 about a pivot axis.
  • the base 32 is preferably secured in a non-removable manner to the carrier element 24 (shown in Figure 2 ) and/or to the wiper blade 26 .
  • the base 32 includes a pair of laterally spaced and vertically extending walls 36 which extend upwardly from a bottom surface 38 , and each of the vertical walls 36 has a protrusion 40 which projects laterally therefrom.
  • the protrusions 40 are both generally circular in shape, extend in opposite lateral directions and are aligned with one another.
  • the protrusions 40 of the exemplary embodiment are generally tubular in shape and have coaxial through holes such that each protrusion 40 has an outer bearing surface and an inner bearing surface.
  • the joint part 34 is provided with a pair of coaxial openings 42 which are shaped similarly to the protrusions 40 for receiving the protrusions 40 to establish the pivotal connection between the joint part 34 and the base 32 .
  • the coaxial through holes of the protrusions 40 and the coaxial openings 42 on the joint part 34 allow the connecting device 22 to be mated with a side-pin style wiper arm 44 by inserting a pin (not shown) through the co-axial through holes.
  • a flange on the wiper arm 44 wraps around the joint part 34 to prevent unintentional detachment of the connecting device 22 from the wiper arm 44 .
  • the joint part could alternately be formed with only one opening for receiving one of the protrusions and with a recess for receiving the other protrusion to establish the pivotal connection between the base and the joint part.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the joint part 34 is divided longitudinally into three portions: a main body portion 48 , a front nose portion 50 and a rear lug portion 52 .
  • the main body portion 48 is generally U-shaped when viewed in cross-section and presents a top wall and a pair of laterally spaced sidewalk, and the aforementioned openings are located on the sidewalls.
  • the top wall of the main body portion 48 includes a resilient, or spring loaded tongue 54 which is integrally connected with the top wall at a first living hinge which is positioned adjacent the rear lug portion 52 of the joint part 34 .
  • the tongue 54 extends longitudinally from the first living hinge towards the pivot axis and the front nose portion 50 .
  • the tongue 54 includes a button 56 which is spaced from the integral hinge adjacent a front edge of the tongue 54 and which projects vertically upwardly for engaging within correspondingly shaped windows in the bayonet-style and top lock with window-style wiper arms.
  • the tongue 54 has a back surface 58 which faces away from the pivot axis and which is ramped for facilitating the connection of the joint part 54 with the bayonet-style wiper arms.
  • the ramped back surface 58 of the button 56 causes the tongue 54 to resiliently flex downwardly at the first living hinge when a front edge the bayonet-style wiper arm makes contact with the ramped back surface 58 .
  • the button 56 automatically springs outwardly into its resting position when it encounters the window in the respective bayonet-style wiper arm.
  • the front surface of the button 56 is stepped to present three distinct vertically and longitudinally spaced tiers 60a , 60b , 60c which are shaped like steps and which face towards the pivot axis.
  • Two of the three tiers 60a , 60b , 60c are specifically positioned relative to one another and to the front nose portion 52 of the joint part 34 for engaging with a front edges of the windows of differently sized bayonet-style wiper arms.
  • the top tier 60a of the button 56 is configured for engaging with the window of the 19 mm bayonet-style wiper arm 62 .
  • the middle tier 60b of the button 56 is positioned for engaging with the window of the 22 mm bayonet-style wiper arm 62 , as shown in Figure 13
  • the bottom tier 60c (shown in Figure 5 ) is positioned to function as a secondary stop for the window of the 22 mm bayonet style wiper arm 64 .
  • the bottom tier 60c is a backup safety feature to prevent unintentional detachment of the wiper device from the 22 mm bayonet-style wiper arm 64 .
  • the joint part includes a pair of vertically spaced rails 65a , 65b which extend laterally outwardly.
  • the lower rail 65b is configured to engage with a lower flange of the 22 mm bayonet-style wiper arm 62 (as shown in Figure 13 ), and the upper rail 65a is configured to engage with a lower flange of a 19 mm bayonet-style wiper arm (as shown in Figure 7 ).
